<p>Would it be good to write about my experience volunteering at a soup kitchen and what i learned etc..?</p>
<p>How exactly do you intend to present it? Beware of cliche here...but I'm curious?</p>
<p>yes. this one has cliche written all over it.
the 'by helping less fortunate people i learned...." cliche.</p>
<p>well i was going to right about it lead me to question peoples places in the world and how it comes to be. and how it gives me gratitude?</p>
<p>Is this to cliche?</p>
<p>Some essay topics lend themselves very well to cliches, but can be written in ways that are fresh and interesting. Some essay topics seem fresh and interesting, but become cliched because of bad writing. Write the essay and then ask whether or not it's cliched - it's impossible to judge from a topic alone.</p>
